"By awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 to the IPCC and Al Gore, the Norwegian Nobel Committee is seeking to contribute to a sharper focus on the processes and decisions that appear to be necessary to protect the world’s future climate, and thereby to reduce the threat to the security of mankind. Action is necessary now, before climate change moves beyond man’s control."

What the living fuck are they talking about? Since when has the global fucking climate ever been within human control?

The Earth is a massive body, with a radius of some 6,400km, plus an atmosphere of another 8.5km: the idea that we humans, powerful as we are within our own little sphere, have anything but the most marginal effect on our local atmosphere is the height of arrogance and hubris.
